is now weekend half away. you can watch the rains and jets live right here. that special coverage kicks off monday september 13th at 6:30. again, live right here wjz13. of course we've got the ravens playing the st. louis rams thursday night final preseason game. my only hope is we got out of it any injury i couldn't care less, they could lose that game 2,000-3. i couldn't care less. when i tell you when we're in crunch time in december we've got play offs looming, i guarantee you, the fact that we played the rams will rank no higher than no. 23 on my who cares list. so, you know,. >> preseason. he'll be out for a couple of weeks.

you know, ultimately who wins is who is healthy. you can charge this back for years. >> we always talk about it. >> you can give them the oh, yeah you're three deep next man up. i know the guy who is like sitting on the bench was probably the greatest player on his team, maybe the best in his conference. this level nfl works at. having said that, if somebody better than him on that field. you follow what i'm saying? >> sure. >> it's whoever is the healthiest. okay. i'll calm myself by. take a look at the forecast for today. i want to get by thursday, i want to get by friday. i want to get by earl. i want to get by foana. i want to get by busting the record of days over 90. it is going to be hot and noticeably more humid than yesterday. the record is 99. i've got to tell you, i think a

lot of us will get to 99, all that counts is what is the temperature vwi marshall. that's where the record is kept. i'm telling you yesterday afternoon about 4:00 i was down on key highway. my car thermometer which is darn accurate said 102. >> black top is a wonderful thing. >> my armpits said 118. let's go to mike. >> it's gorgeous morning, slightly more humid than the past couple of mornings. we're on a dock next to the constellation, what's going on. >> there's constellation, look over here. fancy guys with the, you know, back braid on their top. guys dressed and ladies end cap, thank you. the war of 1812 and they are going to show you how you would fire a gun that could launch a project tile a mile away.

as we click over 6, marty is in the weather center. >> approaching the record for days over 90, second is going to be the tropical activity offshore, both will play into this. right off the bat it's almost 70 degrees downtown, we've got 96 today. it's going to feel a lot stuffier than the past two days. 87% humidity. now let's talk about the barometer this plays into hurricane earl tropical storm fiona. yesterday the barometer was at 30/20. now it has fallen to 3007 high pressure giving us the sunshine the heat is starting to break down. that's going to allow a front to come in from the west which is going to attempt to help steer earl away from our shores. we'll see how successful that's going to be in a second.

hagerstown and downtown. 76 in the district, 68 earl ton. 69 west minister and columbia. so here is this big dome of high pressure. look behind me. now we're starting to see some movement. this is good size front that's sitting out over the upper plane states. it is going to be moving our way. by friday it's going to be north of the region. when you look at big geographic area, i think globally. it's close enough to start exerting influence on earl. let's talk specifically about earl in a second. this day we go to 96 degrees. clear skies, 64. tomorrow we tie the record. record of days above 90 in this city well it goes back to 1988. tomorrow will be the 54th day temperatures above 90. now let's look at the five day. once we get to friday, there is a potential right now that in

baltimore can be partly sunny and 92 that will be the new record. there's still a lot of question marks friday's forecast because of earl. one thing is for sure, once he passes it's going to get sunny it's going to get cooler. temperatures are going to go with low 80s. we're close to labor day weekend. 81, 80 and 82 degrees. now let's specifically talk about hurricane earl. first off we've got bad air quality because of the heat in the region this day. take a look down to the south. state of virginia is now put hurricane watch in effect for their border all the way up to the border of maryland. earl at 5:00 was downgraded to cat 3 storm. winds from 145 to 127 but the computer is positive it's going back to cat 4 as it hits the warm gulf stream. we'll see winds increase again to 140 miles per hour at the 11:00 update. remember everything i'm telling

you is from 5:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. we're starting, though, to move the cone of the projected cone of travel a bit offshore. let's take a closer look at this. the grays, the glancing blow is going to be the north carolina the outer banks, if you will. yesterday that yellow wall, i think that red wall, if you will, but kind over the dome. what i'm getting ready to show you is called the spaghetti model. this is really cool. here is earl. what you're saying, we'll go back to that in just a second. what you're seeing right here is all the computer models on one display you can see if they're trending in the same direction. the trend is a bit offshore only two bring earl inland. their safety in numbers. numbers say it's going to be slightly offshore. now we deal with fiona that's

going to danielle staying out in the center of the ocean. by the end of the weekend you're going to have both storms up here. imagine the swells from virginia beach frankly all the way up through long island. so once the storm passes, now we have another set of issues because of tropical weather just southeast of the mid atlantic at this time. wow, it's busy. don, take it away. >> here drive here with sharon. >> fortunately not so busy on the road. we have a few minor problems. we have confirmed we do have some downed wires and they are blocking old york road. we also have that disabled vehicle on 543 at route 22. there is a look at your drive times and speed starting to see some very minor delays down to 53 miles per hour with 12 minute drive time there. there's aloof like at 95. traffic still light.

down? >> that's correct. they'll be hanging out the gun port. now they will heed the gun out in preparation for actual firing, a gun could be elevated and trained for more precise firing. >> reporter: they're going to elevate it? >> they're going to elevate it and put an apron on top of it to avoid accidental discharge and then fire. >> reporter: wow. pretty neat, huh? can you see the sign. so i was asking earlier, how far can this gun go, they said a mile. to my nature i don't know how far a mile is i looked over and said, can it go through the dominoes sugar sign? it absolute laical. you can put a hole right through the sign if the ball was flying right. >> that ball can go through 2 feet of oak. >> reporter: you guys are going to be down here all day doing
